ABSTRACT:
A lever (50) is mounted rotatably on a female housing (10). A resiliently deformable detector (80) is so assembled into the lever (50) and is movable between a standby position and a detecting position. The detector (80) contacts a stopper (70) in an accommodating portion (60) of the lever (50) when the female and male housings (10, 30) are not yet properly connected to prevent the lever (50) from being pushed to the detecting position. However, the detector (80) contacts an unlocking projection (29) on the female housing (10) and deforms away from the stopper (70) when the housings (10, 30) reach a properly connected state. As a result, the detector (80) can be pushed to the detecting position. An ability to move the detector (80) to the detecting position indicates that the housings (10, 30) are connected properly.
